  • The City's Memory: Texts of Preservation and Loss in Imperial St. Petersburg Julie Buckler, Harvard University Petersburg's Im
    The City’s Memory: Texts of Preservation and Loss in Imperial St. Petersburg Julie Buckler, Harvard University Petersburg's imperial-era chroniclers have displayed a persistent, paradoxical obsession with this very young city's history and memory. Count Francesco Algarotti was among the first to exhibit this curious conflation of old and new, although he seems to have been influenced by sentiments generally in the air during the early eighteenth century. Algarotti attributed the dilapidated state of the grand palaces along the banks of the Neva to the haste with which these residences had been constructed by members of the court whom Peter the Great had obliged to move from Moscow to the new capital: [I]t is easy to see that [the palaces] were built out of obedience rather than choice. Their walls are all cracked, quite out of perpendicular, and ready to fall. It has been wittily enough said, that ruins make themselves in other places, but that they were built at Petersburg. Accordingly, it is necessary every moment, in this new capital, to repair the foundations of the buildings, and its inhabitants built incessantly; as well for this reason, as on account of the instability of the ground and of the bad quality of the materials.1 In a similar vein, William Kinglake, who visited Petersburg in the mid-1840s, scornfully advised travelers to admire the city by moonlight, so as to avoid seeing, “with too critical an eye, plaster scaling from the white-washed walls, and frost-cracks rending the painted 1Francesco Algarotti, “Letters from Count Algarotti to Lord Hervey and the Marquis Scipio Maffei,” Letter IV, June 30, 1739.

At the beginning of the World War I (1914) it became Petrograd. In 1924 it was renamed Leningrad in honor of V. I. Lenin at the workers’ initia- tive. In 1991 the historical name of Saint Petersburg was given back to the city. Saint Petersburg is often called Venice of the North, as it is located on the islands of the Neva River estuary, and the rivers and canals, the number of which amounts to over 90, give it a special charm in any time of the year.

    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Paul Kulikovsky №89 August 2015 A procession in memory of Tsarevich Alexei was made for the twelfth time A two-day procession in honor of the birth of the last heir to the Russian throne - St. Tsarevich Alexei, was made for the twelfth time on August 11-12 from Tsarskoye Selo to Peterhof. The tradition of the procession was born in 2004 - says the coordinator of the procession Vladimir Znahur - The icon painter Igor Kalugin gave the church an icon of St. Tsarevich. We decided that this icon should visit the Lower dacha, where the Tsarevich was born. We learned that in "Peterhof" in 1994 was a festival dedicated to the last heir to the imperial throne. We decided to go in procession from the place where they lived in the winter - from Tsarskoye Selo. Procession begins with Divine Liturgy at the Tsar's Feodorovsky Cathedral and then prayer at the beginning of the procession. The cross procession makes stops at churches and other significant sites. We called the route of our procession "From Sadness to Joy." They lived in the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo, loved it, there was born the Grand Duchess Olga. But this palace became a prison for the last of the Romanovs, where they then went on their way of the cross. It was in this palace the Tsarevich celebrated his last birthday", - says Vladimir. The next morning, after the Liturgy, we go to the birthplace of the Tsarevich - "Peterhof". Part of the procession was led by the clergy of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Peterhof, Archpriest Mikhail Teryushov and Vladimir Chornobay.

    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №140 November 2019 The Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George - 250 years anniversary 250 years anniversary of the Imperial Military Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George The Order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George, the most honourable military order in Russia, was established on December 7 (Old style November 26), 1769, by Empress Catherine the Great. Its motto was “For service and courage”. The Order of St. George was distinguished by its statute among other Russian orders as a reward for personal valour in battle, and the merits for which an officer could be awarded a prize were strictly regulated by the statute: "Neither the high breed, nor the wounds received before the enemy, give the right to be granted this order: but this is given to those who not only corrected their position in everything by oath, honour and duty, but also distinguished themselves by their special what a courageous act, or the wise, and for Our military service, gave useful advice ... This order should never be removed: for it is acquired through merit". The Order had four degrees: 1st degree. The order's badge is a white enamel cross with widening ends and a gold border along the edges. In the middle of the cross, on the medallion, there is the image of the Moscow coat of arms. On the reverse side of the medallion there is a monogram of the saint: "SG". It was weared on a ribbon from should to hip.

  • Monuments of the World Cultural Heritage in Russia - Challenges and Perspectives» and Annual Conference of the National Committee ICOMOS, Russia
    II International Scientific Symposium «Monuments of the World Cultural Heritage in Russia - challenges and perspectives» and Annual Conference of the National Committee ICOMOS, Russia ABSTRACTS 19-21 September 2018 Veliky Novgorod Putting a Stop to Losses, Managing the Present and the Future of the Cultural Heritage of Russia The bitter news of the fire that destroyed the wooden tent-roofed Church of the Assumption in Kondopoga, the Republic of Karelia has shocked all of us. It was a symbol of the spiritual and material power of the Russian people, a cultural monument of federal significance, an object of worship for thousands of people. Its beauty and sophistication, its unique image celebrated by poets and artists were fascinating. Numerous monographs both in Russia and abroad have been dedicated to it, for centuries it was passing down the generations the inimitable charm of the Russian North. This loss is irreversible, architectural monuments may not be cloned. It is imperative to put a stop to losing the masterpieces of the wooden architecture in which Russia used to be so rich. The VII Parliamentary Forum in June 2018 in Suzdal dedicated to this most fragile part of our cultural heritage has raised the issue of the necessity to ensure the safety of the cultural heritage object's that are located far from populated places, in the hard to access areas which was historically predetermined. Russia possesses a unique experience in protecting the objects of the national significance. Vandalizing priceless cultural masterpieces is a kind of terrorism which our country prevails. In our opinion, the state should adopt a comprehensive inter-agency program for protection of the cultural heritage of the Russian North, Siberia and Far East.
